Much better experience after this visit. Great service from Betsy, food was great! I had the pollo Mexicana it was spicy and very tasty. Take s at the amount of food! A little confusion with an older restaurant.com coupon we had but they figured it out. Glad we stopped back in a second time. When we are on the area again we will be back.

Pros -
Loved the salsa chips, bean dip was the best we had.
Food was out in minutes
Cons -
Our server very rushed could not help out with ordering drinks. Some mixers were out of stock.
Men's bathroom was out of paper towels
Compairing the prices to Agave on Elmwood, El Ranchiti in Clarence, Lo Loletca in williamsville the prices are much higher! - Miranda K.Rochester, NY177185322Feb 24, 2017
This is such a diamond in the middle of nowhere.
I have to say, I was skeptical at first, but wow, I was blown away!
The service is fast and friendly, the place has a quaint and cute Mexican vibe to it.
The margarita's are really good! I enjoyed the peach flavor.
The portions of the food are huge! But it's awesome because the food is so good! I love how they give you chips with a queso/bean dip, that dip is amazing! My group got chimpychunga's and enchilada's (if I spelled these wrong, sorry!) This food was SO GOOD I legit couldn't get over it. These dishes were served with a Mexican salad, beans and rice. Everything was to die for!
I seriously dream about this place, I can't wait to go back! The huge portions are a plus because it makes for great leftovers!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 60163230Aug 2, 2016
Decided to give Don Juan a try since it's the closest Mexican. The menu is slightly different than your normal cookie cutter Tex Mex place but similar. You can build your own combo if that's your thing or you can choose from a list of specials. They have less options than most but a good showing. Had the taco dinner with asada and chorizo tacos which was quite tasty. Came with three tacos in flour shells accompanied by pico de gallo, an extremely hot sauce, and grilled onions to add in my preferred amounts to the tacos. Also had refried beans, rice, and a grilled jalapeño on the plate. As you've seen in the photos the plates are huge. My boyfriend had enchiladas and he finished those so they must have been good.
They start you off with chips, salsa, and bean dip with cheese. Bean dip is best when there is a generous amount of cheese.
I like the variety at other places but Don Juan is good, close, and I'd come again.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 183335258Jan 12, 2016
This place took over the Mariah's restaurant building. Its located down the street from the EA village, just past Knox Farms.
Its very clean and neatly decorated.
Server was very nice and attentive.
Immediately get served salsa, which had a great spiciness to it, and bean dip smothered in cheese. I could've eaten that all day.
I had the Enchiladas Supremas. I'm pretty sure the size of the dinner plates are the same circumference as Big Ben in London. HUGE. And everything was delicious. You get all different enchiladas. I wish I could say I tried them all but I only had the capacity to eat the beef & chicken. They were awesome. Rice, refried beans, lettuce & guac were also fresh and yummy. You're going to feel silly when you don't finish half your plate.
This is my new go to for Mexican style food. You really get a feel for authenticity here. I'm hungry after writing this.
I've also been to the Harlem Rd location in West Seneca. Same story but I tried their margaritas. I'm not much of a marg guy but that was delicious too.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jun 21, 2017
Came here for Father's Day as we didn't have plans till last minute and the whole family loves Mexican! Somewhat a wait for our orders but we had margaritas with excellent salsa and bean dip so we were fine with that. My husbands fajitas came out in a large metal cauldron shaped dish and was crackling hot, served with onions, salsa,guacamole salad,rice and beans, it was just as good leftover the next day! I decided on the three taco plate with rice,beans, sautéed onions,jalapeño, roasted tomato salsa( which was very tasty) and choice of meats. Carne Asada, carnitas and chicken were all excellent and I was stuffed! Everyone really enjoyed their dinners. Try out their new patio!

Based on good reviews, we thought we'd give this a try and see if it passes the Texan Test.
We were seated quickly, but it wasn't a busy night. Chips, salsa, and bean dip were brought out quickly. Salsa was mediocre and sweet, but the beans were pretty good.
We ordered the 2+2 (tamal, cheese enchilada, black beans, rice) and the chimichanga dinner with an extra tamal.
Food came quickly, and the waitress was attentive. The meals themselves were rather sub-par.
My tamal was cold, hers was scorching hot. Her beans were cold, mine were hot. The cheese enchilada didn't have any problems, though! As for the chimichangas, the chicken was flavorful but dry. The beef was actually shredded chuck roast (the same cut you'd use for pot roast). I'm not accustomed to seeing that cut in Mexican restaurants, but it added a nice fatty flavor to the chimi.
Because of the inconsistent food, which wasn't terrible but not great, we probably won't be returning. There aren't many good Mexican places in the area, and this one certainly doesn't make that list for us.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Marshall M.Orchard Park, NY113Oct 4, 2017
Omg the portion size is enough for the entire table.
The food was fresh and amazing ,the drinks were awesome. I would definitely recommend this place.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Heidi G.Elma, NY70165313Feb 26, 2016
I am thrilled to have a Mexican place close to work but I am always skeptical when restaurants doing work over and over in the same location. However this one works.
They bring free chips, salsa and a bean and cheese dip. After waiter took our order, very Finley. The food came out in 5 minutes. When you have a shirt time span for lunch it was great.
We all had chimichangas with loose beef. Guacamole salad was fresh, meat was flavored well and just the right amount of sauce.
At $7.25 as well. No reason not to come back.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
